Rates of movement of threatened bird species between IUCN red list categories and toward extinctionM De L Brooke
Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, United Kingdom
Conserv Biol 22:417-27. 2008..Our results suggest that current conservation action benefits species on the brink of extinction, but is less targeted at or has less effect on moderately threatened species...
Widespread translocation from autosomes to sex chromosomes preserves genetic variability in an endangered larkM De L Brooke
Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, UK
J Mol Evol 70:242-6. 2010..Sex-linkage might plausibly allow some level of heterozygosity to be maintained, even in the face of persistently small population sizes...
Vertical transmission of feather lice between adult blackbirds Turdus merula and their nestlings: a lousy perspectiveM De L Brooke
Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, UK
J Parasitol 96:1076-80. 2010..merulensis, prevalence, but not louse intensity, was higher on female than male blackbirds. For 2 other louse species, Philopterus turdi and Menacanthus eurysternus, no differences between male and female blackbirds were detected...
The food consumption of the world's seabirdsM De L Brooke
Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, UK
Proc Biol Sci 271:S246-8. 2004..The principal consumers are mostly high-latitude, often pelagic species-penguins, petrels and auks. The total is similar to the global fisheries landings, currently ca. 80 Mt...
Unravelling dispersal patterns in an expanding population of a highly mobile seabird, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis)T M Burg
Department of Biology, Queen s University, Kingston, Ontario, K7L 3N6, Canada
Proc Biol Sci 270:979-84. 2003..Consequently, we urge caution when interpreting patterns in which populations vary greatly in the genetic diversity they harbour...
